I must say that the characters for Rohirrim have grown on me, and impressed with the prices for the Rohan Princes and Tribe Leaders.

They are shockingly good actually. Especially third party discounts make them a no brainer.

$30 USD for the bride of death figure and direct only? Wow... that beats even Golum with his fish basket from back in the day even adjusted for the massive inflation since.

On the flipside, cheaper than the new plastic Hobgoblin character, or any of the BB star players that went up recently.

Expensive for a single MESBG character? Compared to older product, yes - but she's also the same price as Helm Hammerhand, or the two evil Lords from this release, so her price point probably shouldn't be a shock.

The plastic kit for her, with the mounted version, should be an interesting one from a price point, though, given the price of the two two packs compared to the price of plastic Eomer. £23 for Eomer, compared to £31.50 for the Haleth/Hama pack.

To be fair, she's made out of FW resin and not finecast like Gollum was. So that alone is worth it.

Just because they served us all stale maggotty ham and cheese sandwiches in the past doesn't mean that an overpriced and undercooked burger now is actually worth it, lol. That's a lot for one single 32mm actual size likely resin fig with one single modelling option. YMMV.

Woof. I really wanted pyjamas Haldir, but that's far too expensive for him (why there needed to be 3 I'll never understand).
I even found someone to split the pack with and we both agreed it was too much!

Before the new edition release GW had an article saying the "legends" stuff would get a PDF rules release. Did this ever happen?

If not, I'll assume, and hope, it's coming with the next book release. I don't know why they needed to axe older unit profiles anyway. They had models and rules for this game for 15+ years and now you decide to be rid of them? Why?

Honestly, I found the army books of the new edition to be disappointing. They seem to be missing a lot and are very limited. I hope they. Are up for this with supplements.

No idea, but I'll assume it will be through a Warcom pdf.

As for why they got the boot - already discussed old bean. It was because a lot of it wasn't in the films, although apparently there is the odd contradiction. Either way, I can no longer hope for a new Dweller in the Dark in plastic...

As for supplements, I'll assume they'll be knocking those out over the next 12 months.

Never underestimate GW's ability to **** things up royally under zero pressure.

There's quite a few terrain pieces that have disappeared from the website; Weathertop and the Fallen head, for example. Just wondering if GW will bring them back...

The Fallen Head was recently in the "last chance to order" list.

I've noticed over the past 2-3 years GW likes to sneakily remove items from the web page without saying anything and bring it back 2-6 months later at a higher price.

If you didn't notice, they just did this with the Rohan terrain and Gundabad Orcs. Both were missing for a few weeks not long ago.

I must say that I wish I had treated myself to a Rohan house while it was discounted on Wayland, but looking through the old Journey book for The Two Towers it would be a nice side project if I get the time.

Can't believe I'm saying this about MESBG, but I'm honestly looking forward to Frealaf, Lief and Olwyn. Hopefully they'll be up next along with Helm himself, in armour and on horseback. And I guess they'll do the giant-elephant chaps as well...

Yeah, I guess they do still owe us several more models from Lord of the Anime, don't they? They've shown us non-bride Hera, but I don't think we've even had a preview of those others yet have we?

I still haven't seen the movie. I just hope they didn't take a big wet stinking poop all over the established lore the way Amazon did with Rings of Power. No spoilers please, I'll probably buy a copy when it comes out on disc.

My favourite part was when Gollum appeared riding a beast of gorgoroth.

I'm glad they kept up with the trend of the Eagles coming in the end to save the day.

Easily my favourite part was when Hera held aloft her magic sword, Herugrim, and says "FOR THE HONOUR OF ROHAN!!! I - AM - HE-RA!!!!".

Hera is a weird choice for the main character and changes a key element but it's not bad aside from that. The film trilogy did put Arwen into a leading role over one of the mightiest elf heroes ever to exist so eh.

Just a thought - what day of the week do they usually announce Middle Earth stuff, if there is something to announce?

The last few MESBG articles on Warhammer Community are posted on a Friday.

Cheers.

Random thought for the day: If vanilla-Hera isn't "Coming Soon..." today, I will lose my rag!

They really do seem to be slow-rolling out the releases on the film characters.

I wouldn't get your hopes up too far. We haven't even seen fully armoured Helm yet.

GW wants to wait until the iron is properly cold before striking.

I took a day or two off to blow off steam...

I'm guessing she'll be joined by other cast members for the first supplement focusing on the new film. Lief, Olwyn and Frealaf are at least confirmed in the Armies book, so they shouldn't be too far behind.

I have played around with the idea of getting Hera's two brothers, in the meantime, and running them - along with Hera - as something like the Cartright brothers from Bonanaza, in Rangers of Shadowdeep. Then get Helm to take the place of the father, Adam. The fact that they all ride horses is the icing on that cake!

The associated animation flopped both commercially and critically. There was never any iron to being with.

When the Hobbit stuff didn't do especially well they just sort of stopped doing "full" releases for it. Like the plastic kits kinda dried up and we never really got much for the last film despite it being essentially one gigantic battle.

Given the film was a flop (a bit of a shame) maybe they're just taking it cautiously to avoid any losses.

Don't think so. The new ed seems to have been a big success judging by the starter selling through and the resins being in a constant out of stock period. Being tied to the movie seems to be an irrelevance for the most part.

Still nothing new this week for MESBG? Wow.
